Psychology degrees are popular with people in all sorts of career fields, and
with the expansion of online degree programs, an online psychology degree is a
great option for individuals interested in the field but with limitations on
their time to achieve a traditional degree. In addition to those interested in
pursuing a career in the field of psychology proper, many people who work in
heavily people-related jobs such as human resources, marketing, and sales have
psychology degrees.
Our mission is to provide prospective psychology students with resources they
need to make good decisions about their education and career choices. In
providing detailed information about college and university psychology degree
programs, we focus on institutions that are accredited by major accrediting
bodies. Prospective students are urged verify the accreditation status of any
institution they consider attending.

accreditation. These include bodies such as the Council for Accreditation of
Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the National Council for

Association (APA) and the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family
Therapy Education (COAMFTE).
ONLINE BACHELOR’S IN PSYCHOLOGY
An Online Bachelor’s in Psychology degree is one of the most versatile college

likely the most ideal option.
ONLINE MASTER’S DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY
For some students who have earned their undergraduate degree and want to advance
to the next level of training, an Online Master’s in Psychology is a great
choice. In the past, there were a minimal number of colleges offering online
Master’s Degree and many of these programs were not fully accredited or

have earned their Master’s Degree, the next step is to pursue a Doctoral Degree
in Psychology. You can choose from either a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or a
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD). The biggest difference between the degree options
is that a PhD program is heavily based in the scientific aspects of psychology,
including research and academia. The PsyD, on the other hand, is heavily based
in the clinical and practical aspects of psychology. Students earning an online
PsyD have gained the skills necessary to engage in therapy and counseling. The

CAREER SPECIALIZATIONS FOR PSYCHOLOGY GRADS
Clinical Psychologist
To become a Clinical Psychologist a professional must earn a minimum of a
Master’s Degree and most states require a PhD, PsyD or EdD Degree to become
fully licensed. Most states also require that students complete a supervised
internship for a set amount of hours in order to become licensed. The average
annual salary of a Clinical Psychologist is approximately $72,540 per year, with
a great degree of variation depending upon years of experience, degree level,
area of specialization and the region in which you practice. Clinical
Psychologists provide psychotherapy and mental health treatment to clients
living with a wide range of problems. While some Psychologists treat individuals
suffering from forms of mental illness, others work with people who are
experiencing a single issue or traumatic event. In addition to working directly
with clients, some Psychologists pursue a career conducting research, teaching
at the collegiate level or provide vocational counseling. According to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook (BLS-OH), the field of
Psychology is projected to grow 12 percent over the next ten years, which is
considered “as fast as the average for all occupations” with major variations
depending upon specialty. Some specialty areas will see a much greater rate of
growth.
Professional Counselor
A Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), also referred to as a Mental Health
Counselor, is responsible for working directly with clients to help them face
the many challenges that come from both emotional disturbances and mental
illness. The minimum degree requirements for a Mental Health Counselor is a
Master’s Degree in Psychology or a related field, such as Counseling as well as
the appropriate certification offered by the state in which they practice. Those
Counselors who possess a Doctoral Degree, such as a PhD or PsyD will have
greater opportunities for employment in the field. Professional Counselors
diagnose and treat psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression and
Bi-Polar Disorder. They work with their clients to discuss emotions, behaviors
and experiences and help clients make important decisions that will influence
their future. Counselors work with clients to help them create functional
strategies to cope with problematic situations and in many cases it is the
Counselors job to coordinate treatment with other professionals. Because
Counselors are not Medical Doctors, they do not have the qualifications to
prescribe medications. They will often work with a Psychiatrist or other medical
doctor to ensure that their clients are properly receiving medications. Most
Professionals Counselors work in a private practice setting, outpatient mental
health clinics, hospitals or mental health and substance abuse facilities.
